System, method, and computer-readable medium for displaying layout-based instructions using augmented reality
A system and method are disclosed for a supply chain entity having an inventory of one or more items and a warehouse management system receiving orders for one or more items, determining a container for the one or more items, and generating a packing plan for the items. Aspects of the embodiments may include one or more instruction rendering devices having a sensor and a displaying augmented reality instructions and feedback.
1. A system, comprising:
an instruction rendering device comprising one or more sensors and a display and configured to:
display augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a loading plan for a packing area;
display and update the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with the packing area, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to the loading plan for the packing area;
display the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of the instruction rendering device; and
identify on the instruction rendering device when one or more ordered items have been correctly placed and oriented in the packing area according to the loading plan.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction rendering device is further configured to:
automatically update a visualization based on one or more shipments that need to be removed first.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction rendering device is further configured to:
render the augmented reality instructions as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional visualization of a layout comprising one or more objects assigned to various positions within the packing area.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction rendering device is further configured to:
display an object chart comprising two or more of: an identification, a location, one or more dimensions, a weight and an orientation of one or more objects.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction rendering device is further configured to:
display a loading plan for a load comprising one or more of: load information, restriction feedback, loading information and an object chart.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the load information comprises one or more of:
data describing an identity of the load, a name of a carrier, a date the load was loaded, an origin and a destination of the load, and a quantity of objects in the load.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instruction rendering device is further configured to:
display restriction feedback comprising a chart indicating whether one or more restrictions associated with a load are satisfied or exceeded.
8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
displaying, by an instruction rendering device, augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a loading plan;
displaying and updating, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a packing area, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to the loading plan for the packing area;
displaying, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of the instruction rendering device; and
identifying on the instruction rendering device when one or more ordered items have been correctly placed and oriented in the packing area according to the loading plan.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
automatically updating, by the instruction rendering device, a visualization based on one or more shipments that need to be removed first.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
rendering, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional visualization of a layout comprising one or more objects assigned to various positions within the packing area.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, by the instruction rendering device, an object chart comprising two or more of: an identification, a location, one or more dimensions, a weight and an orientation of one or more objects.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, by the instruction rendering device, a loading plan for a load comprising one or more of: load information, restriction feedback, loading information and an object chart.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the load information comprises one or more of:
data describing an identity of the load, a name of a carrier, a date the load was loaded, an origin and a destination of the load, and a quantity of objects in the load.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, by the instruction rendering device, restriction feedback comprising a chart indicating whether one or more restrictions associated with a load are satisfied or exceeded.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with software, the software when executed configured to:
display, by an instruction rendering device, augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a loading plan;
display and update, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a packing area, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to the loading plan for the packing area;
display, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of the instruction rendering device; and
identify on the instruction rendering device when one or more ordered items have been correctly placed and oriented in the packing area according to the loading plan.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the software when executed is further configured to:
automatically update a visualization based on one or more shipments that need to be removed first.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the software when executed is further configured to:
render the augmented reality instructions as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional visualization of a layout comprising one or more objects assigned to various positions within the packing area.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the software when executed is further configured to:
display an object chart comprising two or more of: an identification, a location, one or more dimensions, a weight and an orientation of one or more objects.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the software when executed is further configured to:
display a loading plan for a load comprising one or more of: load information, restriction feedback, loading information and an object chart.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the load information comprises one or more of:
data describing an identity of the load, a name of a carrier, a date the load was loaded, an origin and a destination of the load, and a quantity of objects in the load.
